About Jeff Fetty 
 Jeff Fetty Designs
Jeff has been forging hot iron for nearly 40 years and still finds  every day at the forge a learning experience and an adventure.

"For me, the history of  Blacksmithing as an art  form is inspiring and  rewarding. I am convinced that nature herself can be captured  in this medium with  remarkable accuracy."

--Jeff on his love of Blacksmithing

Jeff is also an accomplished photographer.  Over the past decade, Jeff has been regularly traveling to his adoptive home of Mexico. While in Mexico, Jeff meets local blacksmiths and brings home hand-made tools to add to his extensive collection. He plans to publish a book on these tools.

"Today in Mexico, blacksmiths are regarded as core members of society, much like blacksmiths were here in the United States 100 to 150 years ago.  To me, it is important to give acknowledgment and credit not only to these blacksmiths but to the tradition of blacksmithing."

--Jeff talking about Mexican blacksmithing

Here is a sample of some of Jeff's photographs from his Mexico travels.
